Pop Song 387 of 500 'Romeo's Tune' Steve Forbert 1979

The song speaks of fading away from the world in the company of your lover. The title does not appear in the lyrics.

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, "Everything's okay"
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, "Everything's alright"
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall
And there's always something more
Lost in talk, I waste my time
And it's all been said before
While further down behind the masquerade
The tears are there
I don't ask for all that much
I just want someone to care
Answer right now
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, "Everything's okay"
Come on out beneath the shining sun
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, "Everything's alright"
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run, yeah
Oh, yeah, yes
Oh, yes
It's king and queen and we must go down 'round
Behind the chandelier
Where I won't have to speak my mind
And you won't have to hear
Shreds of news and after thoughts
And complicated scenes
We'll weather down behind the light
And fade like magazines
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, "Everything's okay"
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Hey, hey
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, "Everything's alright"
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
Oh, now
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say, "Everything's okay"
Let me see you smiling back at me
Hey
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say, "Everything's alright"
Hold me tight and lovin' love is free
Whoa oh
Okay.
